Mrs.Gregg Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 DD1 by her current pace will be done with Singapore 5b by the end of summer (2013). In addtion to Singapore she uses ALecks and Evan-Moor basic Math grade 5. Where should we go after this point?:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 DS is likely to do the same and he'll start AoPS pre-Algebra. If AoPS is too much and he needs more practice, he'll work through 6A and 6B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Gregg Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 AoPS? Not familiar with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Art of Problem Solving. I'm not familiar with any other pre-algebra programs as I'm hoping AoPS will work out, but I may be researching the boards in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 AoPS is Art of Problem Solving. :001_smile: We went to AoPS Pre-Algebra after 5B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsfamily Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 For those of you who answered AOPS, why are you skipping SM 6A&6B? Ds8 is about to start 5A and I have been planning on starting AOPS after Singapore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 We did 6A and B at a quick pace and then went to NEM, then to AoPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinE Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 There have been several discussions that 6A and 6B don't introduce new concepts so much as go further in depth, like a good pre-algebra program should. I see this in 4A and 4B and after previewing MM5, I see the same.

(not butchering his name on my phone) emailed back. I posted it to one of the threads asking about it - might be one of the ones mentioned by the PP.

Mrs.Gregg Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thank you for the replys and links to other threads. I look forward to reading more indepth once the kids go to bed tonight. I had read a while back that 6a and 6b are more depth and not really new concept. My child gets concepts and depth quickly and gets board with repetition for repetitions sake.

The last thread convinced me more to stick with 6A&6B. Before AOPS PreAlgebra came out, I was planning on doing Russian Math 6 in between SM 6 and AOPS Algebra. I think it would be different if my ds were older. He'll still be 8 when we finish SM5B. I know your are in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
